Croatia·🌊 Coastal

Korčula is an island in the southern Croatian Adriatic off the Dalmatian coast. Korcula is often called a mini Dubrovnik and claims to be Marco Polo's birthplace. The fortified old town on a peninsula, the vineyards, and the traditional Moreska sword dance ritual make the island especially appealing.
